Setup and Installation
The HOFTRONIC Maisy recessed spot light is designed for straightforward installation. It connects directly to a 230V mains supply without the need for an external transformer.

- Wiring: Disconnect the main power supply. Connect the spot light's 30cm cable directly to your 230V mains wiring. For extending the cable or connecting multiple lights in series, use IP68-rated cable connectors (not included) to maintain water resistance.
- Secure the Fixture: Place the spot light fixture into the prepared hole. Ensure it is level with the surrounding surface.
- Insert Bulb: Carefully insert the GU10 LED bulb into the fixture.

- Power On/Off: Use your wall switch to turn the light on or off.
- Dimmable Functionality: This spot light is dimmable. If connected to a compatible dimmer switch (not included), you can adjust the light intensity. Ensure any dimmer used is suitable for LED GU10 bulbs.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your spot light.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the stainless steel surface and glass lens with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or seals.
- Bulb Replacement: The GU10 LED bulb is replaceable. To replace, ensure power is disconnected. Carefully remove the retaining ring or twist the bulb counter-clockwise (depending on the specific mechanism) to access and replace the GU10 bulb.
